Enterprise Service Management: ITSM for the rest of us
Enterprise Service Management (ESM) is the extension of IT service management (ITSM) principles and capabilities to other areas of an organization; Human Resources, Financial Services, Legal, Facilities, etc. This will typically include not only using the same processes or practices used in ITSM, but also the same technology (for example, tools such as InvGate Service Desk) as a means of work enablement.
